Chapter 12

Ellen strolled down the path between personal quarters and the main garden as she explored Enzuinia for significant changes. So far as she could see, nothing much had changed the last 25 years which explained the archaic look and feel she had.

“What the fuck did you do to that bitch of yours?” a voice boomed behind her.

The first few moments her heart had skipped a few beats until she had recognized the voice belonged to Jack. Being thoroughly upset by his cunning way to startle her, Ellen refused to turn around to face the irritating man.

“Hey!” Jack shouted, “I’m talking to you old goat.”

“Look who’s talking,” she shot back, “Android R3454. It seems that our numbers differ only by 2.”

“I don’t fucking care,” he spat as he finally had faced her, “You bloody well know it’s illegal to teach a novice to create an external portal!”

Ellen smiled internally as she understood what had happened and asked incredulously, “Are you saying that Miss Bloom managed to do that all on her own? Man, get a life! Stop bothering me with such nonsense.”

“No no no,” he spat, “you’re not getting away with this. She actually created an external portal which is a crime according the Enzuinian constitution.”

Ellen looked at the man knowing he had a point until she realized that Pamela is with Natalia and said with a calm voice, “Look Jack, IF she has done it I have no idea how she did it and I suggest you take this up with Gregory tomorrow.”

“I don’t believe a single word of it,” Jack growled, “You must have spent years training her!”

Ellen sighed as she stared at the angry man. “Listen to yourself Jack. How can I have trained her for years if she’s only a member for 2 days?”

“But she created an external portal just like that!” he shouted, “The bitch clapped 3 times and it was there in an instant. She hadn’t even taken the time to concentrate on the location!”

Then suddenly Ellen remembered that the person who had committed such a crime had to be brought to Gregory instantly.

“And you just let her go,” Ellen scoffed with a smirk.

There was a long silence where the two of them were staring at each other knowing his accusation was voided by letting Natalia go and it was his mistake.

Ellen’s voice sounded icy as she spoke softly, “I have the feeling you’re stalking Miss Bloom. I don’t care what your reasons are for doing it but I warn you as her anchor: Don’t ever try your dirty tricks on her.”

Jack grumbled something but Ellen totally ignored him and with a loud snap with her fingers she summoned a portal. As she stepped through the portal she said ominously, “Remember, Jack.”

Jack stared for a long moment at the place where Ellen’s portal had disappeared before he walked back to his quarters.

He knew there was something fishy going on with the Redhead but he knew he had to be careful. Ellen might look old but she was one of the most ruthless fighters the GIS ever had. Her wrath was lethal and he had witnessed it once which still haunted him on bad nights.

Natalia looked with pride at her work of art. “I want to take a photo,” said Natalia enthusiastically as she walked around the table.

“Take my camera which is on the bedside table,” Jessie responded, “I don’t want them on any mobile device.”

“I understand,” said Natalia as she took the first photo, “You don’t want this ending up on the internet.”

She liked the color contrasts between the sushi rolls and Jessie’s skin. Especially the rainbow and the Hawaiian rolls looked amazing on her smooth complexion.

“Hurry up, “ said Pamela, “I’m dying to taste sushi again.“

“Don’t you like the amazing view?“ bantered Natalia back as she kept on taking photos of the Latin girl from different angles, “I can just look at her perfection for hours.“

“Aren’t you hungry?” asked Jessie.

Natalia stopped and smiled as she teased, “I am but you look so hot, like a real model.”

“Nat,” Jessie growled, “feed me or I’ll get one myself.”

“Oh,” Natalia purred as she raised her eyebrows, “What do you want to have first? Wine, water or a sushi roll?”

Jessie unconsciously licked her lips as she thought about her friend’s proposition. “I like to have water, wine and a spider roll. In that specific order please.”

Natalia had already unscrewed the cap of the water bottle as she said seductively, “Your request is my command.”

Slowly she moved the bottle to her lips and started to drink the refreshing water. A few moments later she moved to the olive skinned woman and kissed her.

Natalia slowly opened her mouth to let the small amount of water flow into Jessie’s mouth. She pulled away to look with a smirk at the surprised woman.

As soon as Jessie had swallowed down the water Natalia asked her, “More?”

With a mesmerizing smile she nodded. “I’m sure I can handle a little more as well.”

Natalia had taken a larger amount of water in her mouth and kissed the thirsty girl again who eagerly swallowed the clear liquid down.

The wine followed in the same way and as soon as Jessie had enjoyed her mouthfuls of wine Natalia had already taken one of the spider rolls in between the chopstick. She asked as she showed the roll at Jessie, “Can you handle this in one go or shall I byte off half and give you the rest?”

The Latina looked hungrily at the roll and she knew she normally would stuff the whole thing in her mouth but now, lying on her back, she reckoned it would be wise to take half.

“How about I bite off as much I think I can take and you eat the rest?” Jessie asked with a sweet voice.

Natalia laughed and teased the sushi decorated Latina as she moved the sushi roll to the woman’s lips, “You’re afraid you won’t get enough are you?”

Jessie eagerly moved her head forward to the roll but Natalia quickly moved the wanted sushi away and gently scolded, “Uh huh Jessie, lay still.”

She pouted but Natalia continued, “You don’t want to get food in your throat.”

Jessie sighed as she knew Natalia had a point and grumbled, “Alright, but I’m really hungry now.”

Natalia giggled as she moved the roll to Jessie’s mouth who carefully took a bite.

“Hmm,” Jessie hummed in ecstasy as she was enjoying her first of many little bites.

Jessie and Natalia sat next to each other on the comfortable bed, enjoying another glass of wine.

Natalia looked disappointed at Jessie’s embroidered lace robe, which the Latina had put on after they had finished their sushi meal.

Jessie had seen her friend’s frown and said softly, “I think we need to talk, Nat.”

Natalia swirled the wine around her glass and took a small sip before she asked, “About what Jess?”

Jessie placed her glass on the bedside table and as she took Natalia’s free hand in hers she replied,

“Us.”

“You know,” continued Jessie, “I was completely swept off the floor when I was at your place.”

Natalia gasped but Jessie quickly continued, “Don’t get me wrong Nat. It was amazing and I truly have enjoyed every second of it.”

Natalia smiled and gave the woman a tender kiss as she whispered, “As I have said before; nobody will ever take that from us.”

Jessie nodded and said, “I know and I’m grateful it has happened but since this last weekend you have changed. You’ve gained so much self-esteem, it feels like almost a 180 degrees turnaround.”

“Ow, “ murmured Pamela, “She is perceptive.“

“You think so?” Natalia asked Jessie.

“Oh come on Nat,” Jessie huffed, “The way you managed to control the meeting yesterday was so incredibly regal. I haven’t seen Randal biting dust like this before ever!”

“I guess you’re right,” Natalia pondered demurely.

Oh gosh,” giggled Jessie as she looked at the redhead, “Damned right I’m right Miss Bloom.”

“Thing is,” Jessie continued somewhat subdued, “the way you entered my bedroom this evening told me a lot.”

As she rubbed the palm of Natalia’s hand she confessed, “I believe we both were experimenting.”

Jessie sighed as she shook her head, “The moment we both saw Mr. handsome, Tom, we practically drooled all over him.”

Natalia smiled as she remembered the awkward moment as she admired the hot man and then it sunk in what Jessie just had said.

“You didn’t,” said Natalia with a voice which was an octave lower, “I thought he was no good in bed.”

“Nothing happened,” defended Jessie, “But somehow I’m attracted to the guy.”

Pamela whispered, “Remember what Ellen asked you about Jessie?“

“I do, “ Natalia projected towards Pamela, “but it still feels like a disappointment.“

“Look,” Jessie said softly, “I really enjoy what we do together but.”

She stopped not knowing how to continue.

Natalia softly squeezed her friend’s hand as she asked with a brittle tone, “What is it, Jess?”

“I don’t want to lose our friendship,” she whispered, “And I’m afraid if we start a relation we might end up losing each other.”

Natalia took a sip of wine to moisten her sudden dry mouth.

“Nat, I, I,” Jessie stammered, “I like to have sex with you and it truly is amazing but it’s different. I think I miss the almost animalistic, nature driven, thrill I get if I have sex with a man.”

“Now that’s truly the most honest answer you ever can get from a best friend, “ Pamela commented softly.

Natalia stared at the beautiful woman and started to smile brilliantly as she asked, “So we just have steaming hot sex with no strings attached?”

“If you can live with that and it won’t affect our friendship,” Jessie replied a bit taken aback, “I mean we do it if both of us want to have sex.”

But that should always be the case Jess,” Natalia said softly.

“Hmm yes,” Jessie confirmed and kissed the redhead on her lips.

As Jessie untied her robe she commanded Natalia with a playful tone, “Take off your beautiful set, it’s time to make you sing for me.”

Natalia felt soft lips on her forehead and a warm hand caressing her arm.

“Wake up sleepy head,” Jessie said softly, “It’s 8 am and I need to leave for the office soon.”

She stretched her body and felt aching muscles she never had felt before. It had been a wonderful evening where Jessie had pampered her in unthinkable ways.

“Pam?“ Natalia projected to her companion, “Are you okay again?“

“Hmm, yes, “ Pamela sighed contented, “I think I’ve never been stimulated like that before.“

Natalia chuckled. “It was great. I don’t know how many times you went silent but Jessie knows exactly how to get me off.“

“I believe my system had a spontaneous reset 4 times.“

“I don’t know what you’ve done to me Jessie, but I feel absolutely wonderful,” Natalia responded sleepily.

Jessie smile widened as she cooed, “Oh thank you! It was wonderful seeing you so satisfied.”

“It was amazing,” Natalia confirmed softly, “Thank you Jess.”

“Good,” said Jessie as she changed her sweet voice into a gruff and commanding tone, “Now, get your ass out of bed because breakfast is getting cold and I surely don’t want to believe I have worked my butt off for nothing!”

Natalia gasped and then she giggled as she saw the fake frown on the Latina’s face. “Yes, Miss,” she responded playfully, “At once Miss.”

Totally ignoring she was naked, Natalia rose out of Jessie’s comfortable bed and quickly made her way to the living room, leaving behind her friend who stood dumbfounded in the bedroom.
